But if they don't spend it, why did they take it in the first place?

Wouldn't lending money for 24 hours be more risky, since the debtor has less time to raise money to pay you back?

Cool, but is there any way we can do this without sacrificing colour precision? Also, the author didn't say if the values in the array are in linear or sRGB colour-space, though I'd bet it's the latter.

Relatedly, on the subject of words: Twitter recently changed their favourite icon from a star to a heart. I've heard several people decry it as making it easier for stalkers to sexually harass women, because the new system lets them se

So make many different kinds of specialised robots that work together in a symbiotic relationship.

Nonsense, you just use git bisect to find the oldest ancestor that can still mate with a modern chicken and produce fertile offspring and there's your first chicken.

How is this different from practically every kind of ID card? Don't they all usually have 1. Your name 2. Your picture 3. Your date and place of birth 4. Date and place of issue 5. Validity date 6. Some sort of number or alphanumeric c

The can of coke already has sugar, so you can skip the skittles. Unless you like skittles, of course.

I wish Taleb would stop making up weird phrases and pushing them in his writing. What does "skin in the game" even mean? I mean linguistically. It's a weird phrase that I still have trouble parsing and have to stop and think

I would love it if I could say groundwrought, endsay and saywhat. It would be very good if we could make a pressed together work and come up with a word list of other ways to say words of French root.

Compilers already break old code. If you specify e.g. -std=c99, you can't omit function return type, or declare argument types like in old C. Ideally, you'd add these as feature flags to the compiler. So me and my team can decide

Wait until one of them (or their children) is hooked to a machine his company made, then administer a nearly lethal dose? Is it justified if the wake-up call saves thousands of lives down the line...

Interestingly, the way me and my friends do it is to split the bill evenly as long as there are no far-off outliers (in either direction). So the people who ate hardly anything pay their part, the people who ate a ton pay their part (there&

This is a good case for macros in Python, actually. Fraction('0.1') is usually what you want, so Fraction(0.1) should mean just that and if you do want the current behaviour, Fraction(float(0.1)) would do it. Same for Fraction(17&

40mph? Really? Not 40kph? Because holy fuck -- once I managed to go 50kph for a minute and that's incredibly FAST.

Yeah, but is a couple of infrared lights enough to be considered "police"? What if I yell "VWEEEWOOOWEEEOOO" and someone mistakes that for a legitimate police siren -- am I still impersonating police, or is that person i

Crossing on red is not jaywalking as per the American definition. Jaywalking is crossing the street where there isn't a crosswalk or pedestrian traffic light.

I don't know about you, but people raging behind the wheel because I'm in front and driving safely gives me schadenfreude... It might be less safe on the whole, given that angry people drive more aggressively, but they would have

Does this apply when you're not fooling any person? As in, you're not trying to impersonate a police officer per se, you're fooling the vehicle's police detection into assuming a police vehicle is coming.

It may also be necessary for election. But you can't disregard the fact that only people who were qualified in some way were allowed to take part in running the country, and in that society it was that democracy was born.

If the country is so far in the shitter, that they can't pay for good schools for everyone, then allowing only the comparatively mega-rich to pay for mediocre education, while everyone gets nothing won't solve the problem and migh

I think we can just summarize the entire thing now and forever as "Management leading developer meetings always leads to tears".

I think this guy http://english.bouletcorp.com/2015/05/27/warriors-good-fortu... probably illustrated it best how it takes skill, determination and luck. And how we shouldn't just discount the last one.

I think the only thing that works is to never start off with free snacks. At all places I've worked, what we have is an open self-serve bar with an open money box. You take what you want and pay as much as it says. Some people leave IO

90%. You can expect that about 90% of people who play your game have pirated it. This figure has kept constant since the day Doom 1 was new. There are exceptions of course - when the game is tied to hardware copy protection, the number can

Waterfall is literally a strawman methodology made up to illustrate the worst possible way to build software (short of having a million monkeys trying random programs), in order to serve as contrast to a way that actually works.
